NX ADV SIM: How to select specific mesh controls?
NX ADV SIM: How to select specific mesh controls?
(OP)
Hi all!
I have an urgent request: is it possible in Adv Sim to select mesh controls (face, edge densities, etc.) related to certain criteria (e.g. mesh controls of specific group of faces or of a specific polygon body, specific size,...)? I cannot figure it out.
Perhaps in a manner like selecting nodes related to face, etc.
If it is not possible, then please make it on top wish list for new release or update (also have some more important things to add to that one, if somenone from Siemens PLM is interested).
thx and br, B

RE: NX ADV SIM: How to select specific mesh controls?
- All mesh controls seem to be linked together and one cannot modify individual ones.
- Related to the above, if you wanted to define a Variable to define the size for a specific Mesh Control, then input the variable into the equation editor for that Mesh Control, all the other Mesh Controls in your FEM seem to re-define to that assignment. (not a good thing).
- The method of selecting the controls is strange; you can't, as you say, select Mesh Controls related to a specific face, or edge, etc. And even picking, by hovering over a specific Mesh Control, seems finicky.
There's definitely room for improvement in this area...
